Kittencals Marinated Vegetables Recipes

KITTENCAL'S MARINATED OIL AND VINEGAR COLESLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the vegetables together.
• Mix first 6 dressing ingredients together in a small saucepan; bring to a boil.
• Remove from heat then immediately add in the oil and white sugar; mix to combine until the sugar is completely dissolved, then pour the hot mixture over the veggies.
• Allow to sit out at room temperature for 1 hour stirring occasionally with a spoon.
• Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours stirring occasionally, I just keep a spoon in the bowl and just mix every time I open the fridge.
• Season with freshly ground black pepper (if desired) before serving.

KITTENCAL'S MARINARA PASTA SAUCE (VEGETARIAN)

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed stockpot or Dutch oven heat oil over medium-high heat.
• Add in onions, garlic and dried red pepper flakes, basil and oregano; saute for about 3-4 minutes.
• Add in the tomato paste and stir for 2-3 minutes.
• Add in the Roma tomatoes with juice and wine; simmer uncovered over low heat for 1-2 hours (I usually cook it for at least a couple of hours) stirring occasionally.
• Season with salt and pepper and add in sugar if desired.
• **NOTE** if you prefer a thinner sauce, then add in some water.

KITTENCAL'S MARINATED GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a bowl combine all marinade ingredients until well combined.
• Score the surface of the uncooked steak about 1/4-inch deep across the grain.
• Place the marinade into a large heavy resealable plastic bag then add in the beef.
• Seal bag and toss meat to coat with the marinade.
• Place the bag into a large bowl.
• Refrigerate for 24 hours (tossing the bag a couple of times during the refrigeration time).
• Remove beef from the marinade and allow all the marinade to drip off scraping off the chopped garlic pieces and green onions from the meat.
• Place on a large plate (I use a jelly-roll pan) and allow to sit out on the counter until almost room temperature, this might take about 3 or more hours.
• Preheat grill to high heat.
• Place on grill and season with steak seasoning or fresh ground black pepper and a little salt.
• Grill the meat about 5-6 minutes per side for rare doneness (turning ONLY one time, do not overcook the meat as it will cook a little more after removing from the grill).
• Remove to a plate/s and allow to sit for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Slice the meat across the grain.
